CHICAGO, ILL, May 19.-The temper of the
crowd was decidedly bearish at the opening of
the exchange. June wheat, which after a
break of lc yesterday, opened weak to-day as
ST3sc, and at once sold down TO SIl4c The
crowd, with few exceptions, sold freely. Some
support was found at 5714C, and few minutes
after the start June wheat had recovered to
S7ssc. In their anxiety TO break the market the
crowd speedily sold themselves short. 1t was
discovered after the first excitement had
worn Itself away, that the clique had purchased
large amounts of June wheat around S73sG
SSls &c, and the crowd, who few minutes before
June ran up from size to IS &C as speedily as 1t
had declined at opening. Before the ad-
vance of early morning was stopped
June wheat sold as high as SS35c,
about stationary at SSGSSl{c. Trading being
fairly active, one of the bear features in the
market in the early morning was the announce
ment of 71zc freight rate OF wheat from Min
neApOlis, which cheapened Minneapolis wheat
delivered here by cents per bushel. When the
clique to K hold, however, this feature was
forgotten, and the announcement of seaboard
clearances of225 coo bushels OF wheat for yes
terday was an aid to advance. Corn opened
weak at 4024 6407sc for July and sold to 1910.
AfeIWard, in sympathy with wheat, 1t recOY
cred tn Ale AT the close IL again sold d.
407sc for July, trading at that figure being quite
heavy. The unexpected large receipts of hogs
ribs and lard both started &c lower at
81 l21s fer the former and S. 20 for the latter.
However before midday they had both. stitfened
up In sympathy with wheat and corn, and July
